If the name Roger Wardell rings a bell, it's because he shared a number of seemingly unbelievable stories through Twitter, only for them to be confirmed months, or sometimes years later. Recently, another hard to believe scoop was shared by Wardell claiming to shed some light on Ryan Reynolds' hopes for Deadpool 3 when Marvel Studios finally moves forward with that.

"Deadpool kills Fox’s Marvel Universe was one of the ideas pitched by Reynolds back in 2019," the anonymous insider exclaims. "Michael Bay in talks to direct the movie." As hard as this is to believe, there's a lot about the rumor that does make sense.

Reynolds worked with Bay on Netflix film Six Underground, a film written by Deadpool scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. This could even be a standalone feature with Wade Wilson taking on familiar faces, all while leaving the continuity of the actual Marvel Cinematic Universe unscathed.

This could easily be a $1 billion blockbuster, and seems like the right way to use the Merc with the Mouth in the MCU. Whether Kevin Feige is on board with the idea is another matter is hard to say.
